Everwinter Without Mercy being the first chapter is interesting.

u/AlterWanabee Jul 29 '26
The CN name is translated as Snow Country Without God's Tender Love, which seems like the intro for Snezhnaya.

Not necessarily, in other languages it's called "Godless Land of Snow" so it seems like an introductory chapter

The fact that Noy and Danica aren't in this image means that they will likely come out in later patches as compared to the others

Could still be. Cyno didn't show up in the Sumeru AQ until 3.1, when we got to the desert and he was released in that patch

Noy feels like he's gonna be someone VERY important and someone who might not actually be on the traveler's side so it makes sense to not introduce a powerful potential ally/foe too early

u/morrow_worrow Jul 29 '26
There are no potential foes in teyvat,

It shows that you probably shouldn’t trust all the leaks that come from these leakers nowadays. Especially since most of the time they’ve been wrong. Just like how valeriy is supposedly a 4 star. But his art and character design screams 5*

u/dr0ps0fv3nus Jul 29 '26
Ohh, I love the prominence of the Harbingers here. It really is their moment!
I wonder if they're just clickbaiting by putting Anastasya here or if she's really in the patch in a special cutscene, because otherwise we know there are zero lines or models related to her found in the beta.
21
u/Alex-005 Jul 29 '26
She could definitely be in a cutscene. Raiden’s appearance in 2.0 was all cutscene (she might have had 1 subtitled line that played at the start of the boss fight with her, but it wasn’t the click through dialogue kinda line, it’s like the subtitled line that signora has every time you fight her boss)
11
u/AttemptFew4705 Jul 29 '26
not sure if you saw it, but theres a leak saying that hoyo just cracked down insanely on ways leakers can leak stuff in the story such as models and dialogue. Anastasya is in 7.0

u/Emotional_Star1687 Jul 29 '26
Hoyo apparently cracked down on story leaks. You can no longer see who's gonna be there and how much they'll be contributing to the story.

The art itself already looks so good, his model's gonna be insane. Odette clearly looks more polished and now Valeriy looks like he's gonna use a more polished version of the Varka model

u/dr0ps0fv3nus Jul 29 '26
I wish they had put the same effort they put into making Yun Jin feel like an authentic representation of chinese opera here, but for slavic/eastern european opera fashion instead. Vodyanitsa is not ugly or anything, but it just feels like such a whatever design for an opera singer.

Rusalkas are not mermaids altough they are water demons, they're more akin to veelas.

And we still have Noy to look forward to in some future version… truly, this version is hitting high on the male to female ratio, especially if Pantalone is really playable.

u/MellodyDoll Jul 29 '26
In Nod Krai the biggest the characters in the photo usually meant the more importance they had in that patch (same with movie posters). Surprised to see Pantalone and Mitya so big and the playable character of this patch (Odette) so small.

Lol Pantalone stole the show in the last AQ. I hope that trend continues in Snezhnaya. He's so fine godammit. Glad to see Pierro and Pulcinella as well. Thankfully being male harbingers, I think they'll have some actual antagonistic behavior.
